Hello BADRINATHAN SUBRAMANI ,

The error message you are seeing indicates that your tenant has been inactive for more than 200 days after the billing cycle, which triggered Microsoft's process to remove inactive tenants. At this stage, the OMS commerce system places a login block AADSTS5000225, Twenty days after this block is applied, the tenant is permanently deleted.

To restore access, the tenant must have been blocked for less than 20 days. After 30 days, the tenant is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

We can reactivate your tenant only if it has been blocked for less than 20 days, please share the requested details in private message so that we can reactivate your account.

Business impact and justification for restoring the tenant, and an explanation of the impact if the tenant cannot be restored.

Once we have the requested details, we can proceed with your account reactivation

I’m a student and actively use my Microsoft account for learning purposes. Recently, after completing the Azure Fundamentals course, I started exploring Azure AI Foundry for further hands-on learning. However, my account appears to be blocked, which is preventing me from accessing the Azure portal.

Kindly re-enable my account so that I can continue my learning and complete the practical exercises.

Thank you for your time and support.

The error code AADSTS5000225 indicates that your Azure tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. To recover your account, you need to reactivate your tenant. Here are the steps you can take:

Contact Microsoft Support: As the tenant administrator, you can reach out to Microsoft support to request reactivation of your tenant. You can find the global support phone numbers here.
Time Limit: Note that you must request reactivation within 20 days of the tenant becoming inactive. If you do not reactivate it within this time frame, the tenant will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
Avoid Multiple Requests: If you have already submitted a request for reactivation, refrain from submitting another request until you receive a response regarding your existing case.

By following these steps, you should be able to recover access to your Azure account and learn about the AI tools available in Azure.
